Child Development Reflection Journal
Learning Activity
Each week, after completing your reading and videos, you will take some time to process your learning by writing in this journal. This is a conversation that you are having with yourself. You are discussing with yourself what has made this week’s learning material meaningful and important to you. At the end of the semester you will have 14 entries. This is a pass/fail assignment. If you do not have 14 entries with a complete 3-2-1 Reflection for each entry submitted by Sunday of the week of the module, you will receive a 0 on the entry for that week. If you have submitted a complete entry on time, you will receive full points.
